[13:02] <jo-erlend> hi. I was wondering why #ubuntu-app-devel is now set as invite only, and what is required in order to get invited.
[13:02]  * Pici looks
[13:03] <Pici> hrm
[13:04] <jo-erlend> I've noticed it's been that way for a while now.
[13:04] <popey> oooer
[13:05] <Pici> I don't like that it has been set private as well.
[13:05] <popey> I was last in there in May
[13:06] <Pici> I'd ask jono, it looks like it was his channel.
[13:06] <popey> +1
[13:06] <ubot4> Factoid '1' not found
[13:07] <Pici> ...
[13:07] <jo-erlend> oh, ok. I'll send him an email then.
[13:08] <popey> I wouldn't do that
[13:08] <jo-erlend> oh.
[13:08] <popey> I'd poke him in #ubuntu-community-team when he wakes
[13:08] <popey> jonos inbox is where emails go to die
[13:08] <jo-erlend> hehe, ok :)
[14:06] <tsimpson> jo-erlend: it was closed, due to it being inactive
[14:13] <jo-erlend> :/
[14:14] <jo-erlend> then where do I meet others who are interested in application development on Ubuntu? Closing down an IRC channel because users aren't chatting much, seems like a really bad idea to me.
[14:15] <tsimpson> jo-erlend: questions were asked with no response, it was a dead channel :(
[14:18] <jo-erlend> then the solution should be to get people to answer, not to lock down the channel. This is annoying. Application development is one of the big things about Ubuntu, as I see it.
[14:19] <k1l> but this is not how irc works. most people just idle and you cant force them to answer
[14:19] <popey> jo-erlend: askubuntu?
[14:19] <popey> be good to get a body of developer type questions out there documented rather than lost in irc logs
[14:19] <popey> IMO
[14:20] <tsimpson> jo-erlend: that was tried, and it failed
[14:20] <jo-erlend> oh.
[14:20] <tsimpson> we didn't just decided to shut it down for no reason
[14:20] <jo-erlend> but I'm fairly sure I subscribe to the ubuntu-irc mailinglist and I don't think I've read anything about it?
[14:23] <tsimpson> jo-erlend: no, we don't post about every action we take, though it should have probably been on the team report
[14:24] <Pici> tsimpson: It should have been removed from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList as well. :/
[14:25] <jo-erlend> every action? No, that's understandable. But closing down a channel isn't like changing the topic. I think it would've been nice with an email. But ok. Done is done. I was really just wondering if there is a place to get notified of changes to developer.ubuntu.com.
[14:25] <tsimpson> wiki's are evil
[14:28] <tsimpson> jo-erlend: does jono have anything to do with developer.ubuntu.com?
[14:29] <jo-erlend> I have no idea.
[14:30] <serfus> he does, you might as well want to contact David Planella
[14:30] <jo-erlend> I expected #ubuntu-app-devel to be the irc-side of developer.ubuntu.com.
[14:31] <tsimpson> well jono agreed the channel should close before we closed it, so I was just wondering if he could be poked to update the page
